ANNOUNCEMENT → Order Without Design: How Markets Shape Cities — the Australian Tour
Join Alain Bertaud, former Principal Planner at the World Bank and author of Order without Design: how markets shape cities, for an insightful evening exploring how this intersection between policy and markets can be made to work on behalf of all Australians.
Cities are the vital engines of the Australian economy—but are we building them to succeed?
From our inner-cities to our urban fringes, what ultimately gets built is at the intersection of government policy and private markets.
Join Alain Bertaud, former Principal Planner at the World Bank and author of Order without Design: how markets shape cities, for an insightful evening exploring how this intersection between policy and markets can be made to work on behalf of all Australians.
By combining urban planning and urban economics, both practitioners and advocates will be better placed to achieve their goals. Only by measuring the outcomes of our policies can we begin to understand what truly works.
This is a vital evening for those passionate about solving the housing crisis, and building more affordable, liveable, and sustainable Australian cities.
